External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj
According to a public statement released by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Twitter today (Saturday, 30 March), an Indian couple was targeted in a stabbing attack by an immigrant near Munich, Germany. The husband, Prashant Basarur, has died while the wife, Smita Basarur, has suffered injuries.
Swaraj stated that the government is helping Prashant’s brother travel to Germany. She also mentioned that she has asked the Indian mission in Munich to look after the two children of the couple.
Germany and other Western European countries have been witnessing a surge in crime over the last several years, which some say is linked to their lax immigration policies.
After the Syria crisis of 2015, which saw upwards of a million migrants from mostly Muslim countries make their way into Europe, Germany, which took the maximum number of such migrants in, saw an uptick in street crime, terror attacks, and sexual assault cases against women.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
